90% of the reason I moved here from Oregon was the weather and I am 100% certain it was the best thing I ever did. Its made my marriage better and it has improved our health getting outside all the time. Fresh air is a huge benefit to one's health. Also the climate allows for fresh local produce, again a health benefit. I just wanted warm sunshine and didn't anticipate all the other benefits it would bring.
Yes, it's definetly very important. For health reasons I had to move to a warm, dry climate and I moved to one of the warmest climates of Europe. Maybe not the warmest but it's dry and has much sunshine so it's perfect for my lungs.
Did you use weather to change your life by moving?
Hell, yeah.
45 years ago relocated from NYC to Phoenix.Never regretted it for a minute.
Going back for a family reunion second week of Dec. Already not liking the temperature forecast (40s) but, at least, I'll be coming home before the snow.
I would say that to be honest with you, that I was,by force,relocated from humid warm temperate/humid subtropical Galveston, Texas to the shockingly cold highly continental and volatile climate of Indianapolis, Indiana, I can still clearly remember my first winter in Indianapolis; it was January of 1994 and that year was among the worst years of my childhood and even among the worst years of my whole life, that first winter was not only a major shock to my system, it was among the most unpleasant experiences in my life due to all of the cold and snow(yeah I know, it’s weird but true, even as a kid I wasn’t a big fan of snow or cold weather), so the bottom line is that I wasn’t born in the Indianapolis area and I sure as hell don’t plan on dying in Indianapolis, as soon or if Life lets me, I plan on eventually leaving Indianapolis and( Hopefully ) relocating back to the Southern United States. Just another tidbit of information about myself, I was born in New Orleans, which is very similar in climate to other gulf coast cities, I.E. Mobile, Alabama, Pensacola, Florida, Beaumont, Texas etc.
Hopefully you do move out. The midwest is a cold version of hell. Never really liked the climate of that region. With that being said, southern US is almost as bad because it's way too hot and humid.
